Retrieving the http.ServerResponse body
im trying to capture the raw string of an https request and response, for http it works fine
var http = require('http');
var util = require('util');
var req,res;
var server = http.createServer(onrequest);
server.listen(81);
server.on('connection',socket=>{
console.log('*** connection ***');
req = '';
res = '';
socket.on('data',data=>{
req += data.toString();
});
var write = socket.write
socket.write=function(data,encoding,callback){
res += data.toString();
write.apply(socket,arguments);
}//write
});
function onrequest(request,response){
console.log('*** request : '+request.url+' ***');
response.on('finish',()=>{
console.log('--- request ---');
console.log('['+req+']');
console.log();
console.log('--- response ---');
console.log('['+res+']');
});
request.on('data',data=>{});
request.on('end',()=>response.end('Hi. This is my http response.'));
}//onresquest
simplifying things using a single curl request
curl http://localhost:81/
gives the required data, congrats i thought onto my project and .. nope
when using https with the following code
var key; // = .....
var cert; // = ....
var server = https.createServer({key,cert},onrequest);
and again using curl
curl -k https://localhost:81/
no data is logged, the problem is this
on the connection event the socket passed is of type "socket" presumably a net.socket
the socket that is passed to the onrequest function is of type "tlssocket"
so i thought maybe i could use the underlying "duplex" which they do both share, however when i try to add the on data event to the duplex, with either
//on connection
var duplex = socket.__proto__;
duplex.on('data',data=>{
or
duplex.on.call(duplex,'data',data=>
it fails at Node.js JavaScript runtime
does anybody know how to get further than this?
